The 7.5 LW (Lothar Walther) Barrel is a raging success.
Along with the other loads that have shot well, I wound up shooting some of the loads intended for the K-31 in the 7.5 LW
At 110 yards in two different ranges the LW got two of the pretties clover leaf groups of .250 (110 yards so a bit less MOA)
Yesterday was a hot day (for us) ranges faces to the west (Sun I the eyes late in the day) and after long day of walking up and down to the 300 yard targets, I pulled the 200 yard target back in to 100 so I could see the holes.
Got the nice clover group again (have to revamp how I go about shooting the 200 and 300 yard range) - it got far more crowded than I expected, hunting season coming up.
The Shilen that was on at 300 yards was pulling 1/2 MOA groups. No complaints at all.
The LW barrel continues to impress me, when the XC barrel wears out it gets replaced with an LW.
And at this point, it pretty well tells me that a Savage with a good barrel is seriously competitive - if human factor is about .250 moa (I think Tubbs said that) it puts the guns in pretty good territory.
